WMC/Ultra Music Festival...learn me!

WMC/Ultra Music Festival...learn me!
Posted on: 10.12.2011 by Aundrea Lenore
Ok so I've been dying to go to this shit for the last few year and this year I'm making it happen.

WMC is March 15-26. Ultra is the 23-25th.

I'm planning on going 22-25th.

My question is....is Ultra worth going to? Or will I be entertainined by only going to WMC? I don't really know how it works. 3 day Ultra passes are $300 and I've heard they sell out, so I want to be on top of things.

I'm almost positive I have a free place to crash, but if not I plan on getting a shitty hotel, so any suggestions would be helpful.

I know some people have had to gone so any tips, advice, is greatly appreciated.


Also...I've never partied in Miami. Should be a good one.

nem0nic has. But apart from selling an old computer, I haven't seen him post in a while.

Don't you live there? Can't you, like, ask around or something and report back to us? I mean

I believe it should, I'm really not sure how it works though. I'm just not sure you need it to go to a lot of the stuff at clubs during WMC, probably gets you in free though. Has anyone here been?

I've also heard bad things about Pacha, but I'd still check it out. I still hear they have badass shows there. My friend went to Hardwell last week and he said he killed it. Most of the complaints I hear about there are its too crowded, full of guidos/Dbags.

If you can get in Lavo I recommend it....dope venue for a show. I saw Morten Breum there last year....amazing vibe and set. Expensive as hell though. I have some friends that spin at Webster a few times a month at an event called "Bassment Saturday's" but I doubt that will be going on on NYE.



As for clubs in general, I mostly stick to lounges, you gotta have a lot of paper and girls to have a good time in clubs here. I've done it in the past, but right now I'm just over it.

I've been to Marquee and Kiss N Fly recently...both great spots.

My main advice....have a plan. Look into a one price party type of deal. They have them all over.
Lots of good info about NYE in this article.

Thanks man I really appreciate the advice! I've heard the same about Pacha but I'm sure well have fun, Alesso is an awesome DJ. Ya there are so many options. In addition to your link there's all these:

We're just going to have to pick something. Maybe we'll try for Lavo thursday. I don't have a whole lot to spend as from my past experience, I know that week in Miami eats cash like no other. I'm actually from Syracuse but go to School here.

But is that just for the conference or do those passes get you into all the clubs and stuff for free too? Couldn't you just go to a lot of the events without one?
From what I could gather that is more for the business side of the conference.

I need to research more. Right now I'm just tracking flights and hoping to get a deal.

Been to Ultra once and Miami Music Week once (last year when UMF and Ultra were split). Ultra was fun, but mostly because I had a press pass. I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed it without one, but I'm not really a festival person.

I have until the 16th to decide before WMC prices go up again, but I'm probably going to WMC and ignoring Ultra unless I manage to get another Press Pass.

I'm definitely doing wmc, not sure about ultra yet but if I don't buy tickets now I know I will regret it.

Last year I did just WMC and it was sick. Did some club evening s, pool parties at the Shelborne, Beatport beach party, etc. Amazing time. This year I'm doing both. My spring break lines up perfectly and I'm staying at my brothers place that literally overlooks Ultra. Whatever you end up doing, you won't be disappointed.

btw I see you're in NYC. Im headed there for NYE. Thursday we don't have plans yet, friday, we're going to Alesso at Pacha, and Saturday were between a few things (Lavo - expensive , or maybe Webster Hall. Any recommendations? I hear good things about Cielo.
